SUMMARY With telepathy-kde 20.04-1 plasma desktop login via sddm has a delay of around 30 seconds after initial desktop loads before the panel loads and login completes STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Upgrade plasma kde-applications from 19.12.3-1 to 20.04-1 2. Login to plasma desktop 3. Login begins but hangs for around 30 seconds before the panel appears and login completes. OBSERVED RESULT Login has additional abnormal 30 second delay EXPECTED RESULT Login should complete almost instantly as normal SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux telepathy-kde* 20.04-1 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4.1-1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.69.0-2 Qt Version: qt5-base 5.14.2-1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION May be unrelated but the telepathy-kde-meta package for the previous version was missing: $ ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg/telepathy-kde-meta* /var/cache/pacman/pkg/telepathy-kde-meta-19.12-1-any.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/telepathy-kde-meta-20.04-1-any.pkg.tar.zst Workaround: Downgrading all telepathy-kde packages to 19.12.3-1 except telepathy-kde-meta resolves the problem, and login to the plasma desktop becomes fast and normal again.
To be a bit more specific the KdedIntegrationModule seems to timeout during invocation Apr 25 11:18:22 arch-videl dbus-daemon[866]: [session uid=1000 pid=866] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.KTp.KdedIntegrationModule' requested by ':1.10' (uid=1000 pid=921 comm="/usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5 ") Apr 25 11:20:22 arch-videl dbus-daemon[866]: [session uid=1000 pid=866] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.KTp.KdedIntegrationModule': timed out (service_start_timeout=120000ms)
Yes I have the analogous entry in my log: $ sudo journalctl -b -1 | grep KdedIntegrationModule Apr 24 15:46:51 home1 dbus-daemon[583]: [session uid=1000 pid=583] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.KTp.KdedIntegrationModule' requested by ':1.17' (uid=1000 pid=675 comm="/usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5 ") Apr 24 15:48:51 home1 dbus-daemon[583]: [session uid=1000 pid=583] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.KTp.KdedIntegrationModule': timed out (service_start_timeout=120000ms) Apr 24 15:49:00 home1 plasma_waitforname[899]: org.kde.knotifications: WaitForName: Service was not registered within timeout
same here. Distr: Gentoo. affected package kde-apps/ktp-kded-module (KDE Telepathy workspace integration) & some more symtoms: in ps ax listed: Z 0:00 [dbus-daemon] <defunct> + freezed krunner after launched plasma panel
Ran into a similar issue but than with Krunner waiting 2 minutes for KdedIntegrationModule to be loaded. Turns out that the module filename is incorrect, so a quick fix is: $ cd /usr/lib/qt/plugins/kf5/kded/ $ sudo ln -sv ktp_integration.so ktp_integration_module.so See also https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/66420 and https://phabricator.kde.org/D28604

The workaround in comment #4 creating a soft link for ktp_integration_module.so does resolve the problem for me also. Perhaps it is simply a typo in the source code that results in this issue?
This issue is resolved in the updated package: telepathy-kde-integration-module 20.04.0-2
